[QUOTE="Mungoman, post: 199873, member: 2730"] G'day Wally. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2730/1445811686_meander.gif[/img] The above diagram shows stream dynamics with a straight section of creek (similar to your bunnings sluice). the three smaller diagrams to the right show flow dynamics, indicating where the transporting flow is strongest, which has the highest velocity. The lighter coloured part of the stream, or creek, is where the transported sediment (read as gold) drops out. By having obstructions (mesh) bank to bank, you have created all areas in your sluice as being turbulent, reducing the capacity for gold to drop out and be trapped. I reckon that AtomRat is on the money when he says the mesh is creating the wrong vortexes. [/QUOTE]
